I don't get to go often as I live 3 hours away and is easily £100 day. Still I try to get to at least 10/15 home and away games a season.
Anyway, firstly I'd like to say the fans that booed at half time were an absolute disgrace. How must that have made the new lads feel. So pathetic it's untrue.
Players:
I thought first half they looked very nervous. Didn't know what others were doing. Obviously with time this will come, and players will start to read each others game, they tended to run into the same space when the full backs had the ball which meant hussey/brown had to turn out and play back. Second half was much better, and the flat ball along the line to Elliot who ran the channels well worked a treat, especially for brown.
Defence I thought looked good all game, brown was the weak link, which Sheffield United realised and utilised that wing well. Malaga and wood looked good, although Malagas pass straight to the stands first half was a head scratcher, I actually looked around the pitch thinking he put it out for an injury.
I hate long ball football, but of we're going to play it we need to play a big man. We had to players under 6 feet jumping with 6'2/6'3 players and they didn't win a header all night. Passing and moving second half made their defence think and constantly pulled them out of position, which when Cody and Elliot spot this, they will start to find the space.
Their danger man was Quinn, he controlled the game at times and popped up everywhere, I think when we're playing a team who have this player we need to nullify him asap. Apart from him I really didn't think there was much to their team. And if they're the favourites then we really should be hoping to win most games this season.
Jennings is a wonderful player to watch. When he doesn't have the ball he's insisting it's kept and short passes are made, he runs into a space and points to the player the ball should be given to, that is a huge boost for a non-footballing centre half such as wood, who first half just played a long ball, second half however he passed it wide with jennings pointing to the wings. Really could be a top player for us.
Overall I thought we looked nervous first half and it really was a dire game of football, second half was a hell of a lot better and the football at times was pleasing to see.
The fans apart from the booing were very good IMO and I thought a terrific atmosphere was created and you could sense a goal coming. If we were like that for 90mins it would gee the boys right up and we experience the kind of footy we did in the second half every game.
Pleased with a point but should have been 3.
